Small Change, Big Benefit: Organised Remotes

Now that baby Georgia is standing and maneuvering her way around the lounges, our remotes started... disappearing!

..Ok I'll admit it, sometimes I just forgot where I put them as well ;)

You know how I feel about everything needing a proper home? Well, for us, the remotes just kept slipping under the radar - I did assign a coffee table, but it wasn't working, they were just thrown on there and then hidden under catalogues, magazines, etc.

So I found this at Howards Storage World:

I've seen these online before and liked them, but never really thought to get one myself.

Well, I was missing out - the very first day I put this on the table, it changed everything. It's almost like the remotes are too easy to put away now ;)

You know what I love most? The fact that my iPhone fits in it - so handy for me, but hard for baby Georgia to get it out - yep, she's 1 and somehow figured out how to swipe the phone screen open. I blame Sophie... ok it's probably from watching me with it all the time ;)

So, in short - LOVE it!

If you're looking for a remote control caddy and you like the look of this one, you can find it here - and while you're on the website, check out the brand new catalogue!

I'd love to know of any small changes you've made to your house that have had a BIG benefit! Pop over to Facebook and leave a comment :)

Howards was kind enough to provide me with a gift certificate at the end of last month for upcoming projects I had planned around the house (thank you Howards!). I hadn't even thought of using it for a remote control caddy until I laid eyes on this one - but I'm so glad I saw it, it's made such a great change!
